Boomers are lucky to be there, not surprising. They struggled so bad with Giannis, how are they going to handle two superstars in Jokic and Bogdanovic? That said, if they actually land their free throws, they can do it.

The Opals are a bit more unlucky because they got Nigeria on a really good day and they were awful. That said, they are building nicely so bronze is definitely realistic.

They were pathetic last night. Didnt even look like attacking properly. The Dutch just sat back and picked their mistakes off and punished them when they got there chances. There seemed to be no plan B in attack.

I just hate how shit we are at athletics.

Is there a gold medal chance in there anywhere?

Women's pole vault Women's 1500m is a chance if she can knock off the WR holder. High jump was the best chance but again up against the WR holder.

Best remaining chances:
Women's pole vault - favourite
Women's Javelin - second favourite
Women's 1500m - second favourite
Men's discus - a chance
Men's 800m - outside chance
Marathon men's and women's - unlikely but possible
Women's 500m - unlikely

No chances anywhere else on the track or field. Track cycling and sailing should bring in a gold or two.

The Water Polo teams might bring a medal or two. Both seem to be going really well so far.
